Use the following learning links and resources to improve your proportional reasoning skills:

“Proportional reasoning is difficult to define. It is not something that you either can or cannot do but is developed over time through reasoning … It is the ability to think about and compare multiplicative relationships between quantities”

Proportional reasoning skills: the consideration of a number in relative terms rather than in absolute terms
